But Satisfactory signs are totally a different thing to lights which need power?!?

Akshually we currently have no rocket with enough power to launch that much mass towards the Sun. People always assume because the Sun has a lot of gravity, stuff moves toward it automatically. But when launching from Earth that's not the case. Earth is in orbit around the Sun, in order to get to the Sun you need to lose all that energy. Since rhino's are heavy af you'd need a mighty rocket indeed.
We could with some effort maybe launch one small rhino, say 600-700kg towards the Sun. And it requires some fancy ass orbital mechanics. So it would travel way more than 91.511 million miles before ending up in the Sun. This rhino would probably not survive the launch, which is just as well given its destination and travel time.

Lamps invideo games are using real electricity. -

More interestingly, lamps in video games use the same amount of real electricity if they are on or off.

Not necessarily, on OLED displays (which are definitely a thing for desktop computers and TVs) a light that's turned off is using less power because the pixels the lamp is displayed on (and the ones around it too) are dimmer.

YELLS IN GPU VERTEX PIPELINE
that consumes electricity. ever think about the poor gpu? about how your words hurt its feelings?
jokes aside the power to process a few hundred vertices every frame is insignificant

While getting a rocket or probe to hit the sun smack in the middle sounds hard to do, you can get obliterated by it with much less delta-v.
You need to get to the Earth's escape velocity and just cleverly align the angle of escape so that you get an eccentric enough heliocentric orbit that you'd end up some 6 million kms close to the sun. Anything closer than that is literally overkill.

You need multitudes more energy to get to a sun orbit than you need to leave the solar system.

If they’re not looked at, they don’t consume as much electricity. So there’s that difference.

Highly depends on the rendering engine and if you’re looking at it, as it could unrender if you look away, meaning less energy used.

technically they all make fake combustion noises, which is worse.

If you have your back to them, they don't emit light either!

Exactly what I thought while I was commenting that. The reflections are what made me rewrite it
